This is way more work than needed to fix the problem. Even with this it wouldn't help as gear levels increase. Or if the MT dies suddenly due to people being distracted or doing a mechanic wrong. Your OT, understandably not expecting this, will be in their STR stance with tank stance off. They're going to die very quickly once the boss switches to them, possibly even instantly if the boss uses a weaponskill or a spell on them. You have to give room for margins of human error, and not everyone has catlike reflexes. Even if they did, turning their stance back to VIT wouldn't put them at full hp, that'd be way too easy to abuse(See how Thrill of Battle works? Imagine being able to flick that on and off as you please.) They'd be at whatever HP they were at before and even with damage reduction it'd be a very bad situation.
